    Emergency Handyman Service

    Posted 3 days ago

    Plumbing worries and new drawers, door fitted in kitchen.

    Difficult to praise and thank enough. I was in a panic and Shawn came over to check and correct plumbing worries within half an hour. Did not charge. Then asked him to fix kitchen drawers and cupboard which he did perfectly and at a very fair price and in good time! A great guy!

    Handyman

    Posted 19 July

    Painting hallway, landing, living room and outside of house.

    I can’t recommend Sean highly enough! He painted my hallway, landing, living room and the outside of my house, and the quality of his work is outstanding. He was always friendly, professional, clean and tidy, and went above and beyond. He also put up 3 TVs, fitted a chandelier, bedside tables, helped with plumbing and other odd jobs. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Sean has been an absolute godsend, and I’m so happy with everything. I would definitely recommend to everyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
